So this is more a question about food in Mexico, not Mexican food. Though since Mexico is the place of origin of so many types of beans, and has such a rich cuisine based on beans, I’m hoping there will be an answer.

What is the best Mexican bean to use to get something approaching Louisiana style red beans? I live in southern Mexico and would like to figure out local ingredients that make decent substitutions for this classic dish that I love.

Thanks!

(Yes I know this may get downvoted but really, better here than in r/Mexico!)
